IMPROVEMENT IN PENCIL-CASES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,448, dated May 7,1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that WESLEY H. DAVIS, of Hartsville, in the county ofBartholomew and State of Indiana, has invented a new and valuableImprovement in Pencil-Holders; and he does hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawingmaking a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a representation of a central longitudinalsection of my invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

This invention has relation to a combined pencilholder andpencil-sharpener; and conis fitted a metallic cap, A having a plain orthreaded socket to receive the end of thepenci], and a flange or ridge,a, to prevent it from passing too far into the case. The case at thisend is split longitudinally at several places, as shown at a. This willallow the cap to pass in, the case spreading open to receive it. Brepresents a sleeve, which is used to bind the case when the cap isinserted.

When the pencil is to be used the cap is reversed, either end beingadapted to fit the case.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The combination, with a wooden leadpencil, of the reversible cap A a,and the metallic holder, constructed and arranged substantially asspecified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
